Doing it for love: a Mom's story

I have heard that there is a fine line between laughing and crying. Today, I felt like laughing but to my suprise, I ended up in tears....tears of joy, of laughter, of understaninding ..... the kind of understanding that only comes from being a mom.

I found this Mother's Day video today and just couldn't wait until Mother's Day to share it. So, laugh, cry, and tell me what would you do?

How many times have each of us heard, "Wow, what does your angel eat? How can you do all of that?" These questions that make us look like miracle moms and do-ers of the impossible. The ones that make you put on your super-cape, fly overhead and accomplish the impossible.... flying high until .... our cape gets snagged on a branch. Those branches that keep things "real", that help us remember: we are doing this for love. Would you have it any other way?

About Me

When our angel was 2 months old, I suspected that she was allergic to wheat. By the time she was one year old, eggs made her immediately ill and we knew that there was more than one allergen. However, when the allergist showed us the results of a test for common allergens, I never imagined that she'd be allergic to ALL of them! Each day, just like so many other mothers, I work hard to create a safe and loving environment where my angel can learn to fly. With over 50 food allergies, we use creative thinking to navigate daily activites. I hope that you will be informed and enlightened, enriched and involved as you follow this blog. Let's learn to fly together - one allergy at a time!
